The upcoming parole hearing for killer Terry Losicco has brought renewed attention to the Lincoln Hall facility where Losicco lived at the time of Eleanor Prouty's murder.

Scott Saks, who lives in the Primrose Street home where Prouty was brutally beaten and strangled in 1980, is shining a spotlight on Lincoln Hall, a home for juvenile delinquents that more recently has begun to house unaccompanied minors who have entered the country illegally. Saks said he thinks it's "criminal negligence" the way the facility is run.
